Reds' Amazing Home Record

United Review, the official matchday programme, examined the Reds' hugely impressive home record against teams who visited Old Trafford as the reigning champions.

Leicester City, of course, became the latest kings of England to be beaten by United, following the 4-1 victory for Jose Mourinho's men at the weekend, ensuring an overall post-War record of:

PLAYED: 52
WON: 29
DRAWN: 17
LOST: 6
GOALS FOR: 91
GOALS AGAINST: 38

Remarkably, United have only lost once at home to the title holders since the 1960s. Manchester City's 2-1 triumph in 2013 may have mattered little overall as the Reds' lead at the top of the Premier League table was only trimmed to 12 points in the April fixture. Yet the narrow reverse to the Blues remains the only loss since another derby defeat way back in March 1969.
